U.S. Marine Jared Schmitz, 20-Years-Old, Killed in Kabul Terrorist Attacks
United States Marine Jared Schmitz, 20-years-old, has been named as one of 13 U.S. service members who was killed in Thursday’s terrorist attacks in Kabul, Afghanistan.
As Breitbart News reported, the Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISIS-K) claimed responsibility for two suicide bombings in Kabul that killed 10 U.S. Marines, one U.S. Navy medic and another two service members, along with at least 90 others and has left at least 150 others wounded.
Among those killed was Schmitz of Wentzville, Missouri, who had been deployed to Kabul from Jordan on his first deployment as a Marine. Schmitz recently graduated high school in 2019 and became a Marine in 2020.
Schmitz’s father, Mark Schmitz, told FOX2 Now that his son always wanted to join the U.S. Armed Forces to defend his country.
Today I spoke with the family of Lance Corporal Jared Schmitz, of Wentzville, Missouri, a Marine who lost his life yesterday in the Kabul attacks, while proudly serving this nation. I promised his family that his service and his legacy will not be forgotten
